Some of you may remember my posting pics of my very large male L333 several months ago. The thread is here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... cfc2eb129c

Well last night I was doing my normal nocturnal feeding just before bedtime. I was shocked to see about a dozen fry dive for cover. So far I've counted about 20. But there is a lot of cover in this tank so I'm not really sure how many I have.

No pics worthy of posting yet, but I'll try to get some and post them tonight or tomorrow.

Not cat-elog quality but at least it's a pic.

That's outstanding. Are the fry for sale yet? Congrats.

WOW! Nicely done!

Great news! Congratulations!!!!! *Happy dance*

Thanks for the kind comments.

No plans to sell any yet. A little too soon to think about that. They need to grow a little before I make those plans.

They look very thin. You might need to feed them some crushed powder food. They are very fragile at this point. Until they are more than 1", it's a struggle and you can lose the whole batch. So you have to keep up the good work. Congrates and good luck.

You are correct, they are thin. They were probably out of the cave for a few days before I saw them. But they're starting to fatten up nicely on Sonic's Pleco Power Pellets (fine) and BBS.



I counted 26 when cleaning up the other day. So no big die off yet. Fingers crossed. I'm aware that this species is easier to spawn than to raise. But I'm getting hopeful. I'm blessed with soft, neutral tap water which I think will give me an advantage.
